WooPayments: Tax Documents

If your business is based in a country where you might need VAT invoices, you can receive a monthly invoice showing our fees. We will require you to supply your business name, address, and VAT number (if registered) the first time you access these invoices.

Invoices for the previous month are generated on the 10th day of each month.

Providing your VAT details

↑ Back to top

If you have not provided us with your VAT details before downloading an invoice, you will be prompted to do so when you attempt to download one. The data submitted in this form will be applied to all of your invoices, and you will not be prompted again.

If you are not registered for a VAT number, simply click on Continue without checking “I’m registered for a VAT number.”

If you are registered for a VAT number, please check the “I’m registered for a VAT number” box. The VAT number field with your country’s prefix should appear. Provide your VAT number and click Continue to initiate the validation process for the provided VAT number via the VIES on-the-web system. In the event that the provided VAT number fails validation, you will be notified.

After clicking on Continue, you should be redirected to the second step of this form.

Please fill in your business name and address and click Confirm. After your details are successfully saved, you will be automatically redirected to the requested invoice.

Editing your VAT details

At this time, it is not possible to edit your VAT details after submitting them. If you need to change your VAT information, please contact support and provide us with the following:

Downloading an invoice

After clicking on the View Report link from an email notification, or the Download button in the Payments > Documents page, a new tab will open with your invoice. A print dialog, which you can use to print the invoice or save the invoice as a PDF file, will be displayed automatically.

The invoice document will contain a number, a date, and the time period being reported on. The information submitted in the VAT details form will be used in the Provided To field.

If you have funds deposited in multiple currencies, the invoice will contain one line item for each currency. Each line item will contain the number and total amount for the transactions processed in that currency in addition to the fees charged by WooPayments.
